In Greek mythology, Phereclus or Phereclos, son of Tecton, was the shipbuilder who constructed the boat that Paris used to kidnap Helen.

Meriones targeted Phereclos and killed him by ramming a spear into his right buttock. Phereclus was a target because he built Paris' ships, and he could make other contraptions of war.[1]

In the Iliad, Homer vividly illustrates Phereclus' death in book five:Template:Quote
